THE PREDICTION

World number 24 Alex de Minaur edged a tight first set via a tiebreak against Adrian Mannarino and dropped the second before ending his second round match in relative comfort. The 23-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the US Open back in 2020 and he will be desperate to at least emulate that here on home soil, with this match his first on Rod Laver this campaign as Tennis Australia gives him all the help they can. In a day full of incredible comebacks, world number 48 Benjamin Bonzi’s remarkable fight from two sets down to beat Pablo Carreno Busta went seriously under the radar. The 26-year-old really came into his own on the indoor hardcourt swing late last season and he finished runner-up to Tallon Griekspoor at the Pune Open at the start of 2023 to suggest he can enjoy a career-best season this year. De Minaur’s pace favoured him last season in two wins from two over Bonzi five sets gives the Frenchman plenty of time to work out a response. Back De Minaur, with Melbourne behind him, to win outright – probably in four.
